- selectable marker genes may confer a selectable phenotype on mammalian cells in culture.
- selectable marker genes express proteins, usually enzymes that confer resistance to various antibiotics in cell culture. In some selective conditions, cells that express a flourescent protein marker are made visible, and are thus selectable. Examples in the art include beta-lactamase (bla; beta- lactam antibiotic resistance gene or ampR; ampicillin resistance gene), bis (blasticidin resistance acetyl transferase gene), hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt; hygromycin resistance gene), and others.
- Tunicamycin is mixture of antibiotics that act as inhibitors of bacterial and eukaryote N-acetylglucosamine transferases preventing formation of N-acetylglucosamine lipid intermediates and glycosylation of newly synthesized glycoproteins.
- Tn is cytotoxic because it specifically inhibits UDP-N-acetylglucosamine: dolichol phosphate N- acetylglucosamine-1-P transferase (GPT), an enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of the biosynthesis of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides.
- GPT dolichol phosphate N- acetylglucosamine-1-P transferase
- asparagine- linked glycoproteins made in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are not glycosylated with N-linked glycans, and therefore may not fold correctly in the ER and thus, may be targeted for breakdown (Koizumi, et al. 1999, Plant Physiol. 121 (2):353-362).
- UDR unfolded protein response
- GPT uridine diphosphate GPT
- GlcNAc-1-P transferase uridine diphosphate GPT
- M36899 (SEQ ID NO: 2), was isolated from a Tn-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cell line and encodes a 408 amino acid protein (SEQ ID NO: 3) (Scocca and Krag, 1990, J Biol Chem 265(33):20621-20626; Lehrman, M. et al., 1988, J Biol Chem 263(36): 19796-803).
- Hamster GPT was overexpressed in yeast cells (S. pombe) and conferred Tn resistance in these cells; also providing a convenient source for the purification of the GPT enzyme (Scocca JR, et al. 1995, Glycobiology, 5(1 ): 129-36).
- GPT GPT-derived protein kinase
- hybridoma cells B cells expressing IgG, vs. quiescent B cells
- IgG-producing cells did not exhibit increased levels of GPT transcript or activity, yet a small increase in GPT was seen in the transition from quiescent to active B cells. It was concluded that GPT levels may correspond with the early development of proliferative response to LPS (antigen) stimulation in B cells (Crick, D.C. et al, 1994, J Biol C em 269(14): 10559-65).
- the present invention provides an improved method for production of recombinant proteins in mammalian cell systems utilizing a mammalian Tn-resistance gene, GPT, as a regulatable selection marker, whereas increased copy number of a gene of interest operably linked to GPT correlates with increased random integration of a GPT expression cassette into the cell.
- GPT mammalian Tn-resistance gene
- the present invention also provides an improved method for the glycosylation of recombinant proteins, i.e. a method for making glycoproteins, in mammalian cell systems in order to provide consistent quality yield of the desired proteins.
- DNA regions are operably linked when they are functionally related to each other.
- a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter is capable of participating in the transcription of the sequence;
- a ribosome-binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to permit translation.
- operably linked can include, but does not require, contiguity. In the case of sequences such as secretory leaders, contiguity and proper placement in a reading frame are typical features.
- a production enhancing sequence such as a promoter, is operably linked to a gene of interest (GOI) where it is functionally related to the GOI, for example, where its presence results in increased expression of the GOI.
- GOI gene of interest
- a control sequence e.g., a promoter or operator or marker
- a control sequence is appropriately placed at a position relative to a coding sequence such that the control sequence directs or permits the production of a polypeptide/protein of interest encoded by the coding sequence.
- the gene of interest is operably linked to the selection marker gene because expression will not occur without the presence of an operable selection marker protein.
- Promoter indicates a DNA sequence sufficient to direct transcription of a DNA sequence to which it is operably linked, i.e., linked in such a way as to permit transcription of the gene of interest and/or selection marker gene when the appropriate signals are present.
- the expression of a gene may be placed under control of any promoter or enhancer element known in the art.
- An "expression vector” in the context of the present invention may be any suitable vector, including chromosomal, non-chromosomal, and synthetic nucleic acid vectors (a nucleic acid sequence comprising a suitable set of expression control elements).
- suitable vectors include derivatives of SV40, bacterial plasmids, phage DNA, baculovirus, yeast plasmids, vectors derived from combinations of plasmids and phage DNA, and viral nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) vectors.
- an Fc-fusion protein or polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid molecule is comprised in a naked DNA or RNA vector, including, for example, a linear expression element (as described in, for instance, Sykes and Johnston, 1997, Nat Biotech 12, 355-59), a compacted nucleic acid vector (as described in for instance US6,077,835 and/or WO00/70087), or a plasmid vector such as pBR322, pUC 19/18, or pUC 1 18/1 19.
- a linear expression element as described in, for instance, Sykes and Johnston, 1997, Nat Biotech 12, 355-59
- a compacted nucleic acid vector as described in for instance US6,077,835 and/or WO00/70087
- a plasmid vector such as pBR322, pUC 19/18, or pUC 1 18/1 19.
- Such nucleic acid vectors and the usage thereof are well known in the art (see, for instance, US5,589,
- operator indicates a DNA sequence that is introduced in or near a gene in such a way that the gene may be regulated by the binding of a repressor protein to the operator and, as a result, prevent or allow transcription of the GOI, i.e. a nucleotide encoding a polypeptide or protein of interest.
- the terms "enhanced” or “improved” when used to describe protein expression include an increase in the quantity and/or consistency of quality of the protein (i.e. gene product) produced by the expression system or methods of the invention. As such, this includes an enhancement of at least about 1 .5-fold to at least about 3-fold enhancement in expression over what is typically observed by random integration into a genome, for example, as compared to a pool of integrants using another selectable marker construct. As such, fold-expression enhancement observed for proteins of interest is compared to an expression level of the same gene, measured under substantially the same conditions, in the absence of an expression cassette or cell of the invention comprising a GPT gene, or in the presence of an expression cassette or cell comprising a different selectable marker.
- Expression enhancement may also be measured by the resulting number of random integration events.
- Enhanced recombination efficiency includes an enhancement of the ability of a locus to recombine (for example, employing recombinase-recognition sites). Enhancement refers to a measurable efficiency over random recombination, which is typically 0.1 %. In certain conditions, enhanced recombination efficiency is about 10-fold over random, or about 1 %. Unless specified, the claimed invention is not limited to a specific recombination efficiency.
- Expression enhancement may also be measured by the resulting number of gene copies as measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), or other well-known technique.
- Enhanced or improved product also refers to the more consistent quality, for example, post-translational modifications observed with the GPT expression system of the invention.
- Consistent quality includes having e.g. a desirable glycosylation profile after replicate production lines.
- Consistency, with respect to quality refers to a degree of uniformity and standardization, whereas replicate production batches are essentially free from variation. Calculating a Z-number to measure consistency is taught herein. Other statistical measures are known in the art for measuring consistency.
- spontaneous pressure is the force or stimulus applied to a living organism (e.g. a cell) or system (e.g. as an expression system) which alters the behavior and survival (such as ability to survive) of the living organism or system within a given environment.
- gene amplification means an increase in the number of identical copies of a gene sequence. Certain cellular processes are characterized by the production of multiple copies of a particular gene or genes that amplify the phenotype that the gene confers on the cell, for example antibiotic resistance.
- exogenously added gene or “exogenously added GOI” is employed with reference to an expression cassette, the phrase refers to any gene not present within the cell genome as found in nature, or an additional gene copy integrated into (a different locus within) the genome.
- an "exogenously added gene" within a CHO genome can be a hamster gene not found within the particular CHO locus in nature (i.e., a hamster gene from another locus in the hamster genome), a gene from any other species (e.g., a human gene), a chimeric gene (e.g., human/mouse), or can be a hamster gene not found within the CHO genome in nature (i.e., a hamster gene having less than 99.9% identity to the gene from another locus in the hamster genome), or any other gene not found in nature to exist within the CHO natural genome.
- Random integration events differ from targeted integration events, whereas insertion of a gene into the genome of the cell is not site-specific in random integration events.
- An example of targeted integration is homologous recombination.
- Random (nonhomologous) integration means that the location (locus) of the resulting integrant is not known or specified. Random integration is thought to occur by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), however is not limited to this method.
- Selection efficiency means the percent population of surviving cells expressing the selectable marker and, if applicable, the protein of interest under the control of the selectable marker.
- Percent identity when describing a Tn-resistance protein, is meant to include homologous sequences that display the recited identity along regions of contiguous homology, but the presence of gaps, deletions, or insertions that have no homolog in the compared sequence are not taken into account in calculating percent identity.
- Percent identity the following amino acid sequence comparison will be referred to:
- a "percent identity" determination between the "GPT_CRIG" sequence above (for a Chinese hamster GPT) with a mouse homolog (“GPT_MOUSE”) would not include a comparison of hamster amino acids 10 and 1 1 , since the hamster homolog has no homologous sequence to compare in an alignment (i.e., the mouse GPT has an insertion at that point, or the hamster homolog has a gap or deletion, as the case may be).
- the percent identity comparison would extend from the "MWA” at the 5' end to the "ESQ” at the 3' end. In that event, the mouse homolog differs only in that it has an "R" at hamster GPT position 51.
- cell includes any cell that is suitable for expressing a recombinant nucleic acid sequence.
- Cells include those of prokaryotes and eukaryotes (single-cell or multiple-cell), bacterial cells (e.g., strains of E. coli, Bacillus spp., Streptomyces spp., etc.), mycobacteria cells, fungal cells, yeast cells (e.g. S. cerevisiae, S. pombe, P. partoris, P. methanolica, etc.), plant cells, insect cells (e.g.
- the cell is a human, monkey, ape, hamster, rat or mouse cell.
- the cell is eukaryotic and is selected from the following cells: CHO (e.g. CHO K1 , DXB-1 1 CHO, Veggie-CHO), COS (e.g. COS-7), retinal cells, Vera, CV1 , kidney (e.g.
- the cell comprises one or more viral genes, e.g. a retinal cell that expresses a viral gene (e.g. a PER.C6® cell).
- a viral gene e.g. a PER.C6® cell.
- ICD integrated cell density
- glycosylation or the phrase “glycosylating a protein” includes the formation of glycoproteins whereas oligosaccharides are attached either to the side chain of the asparagine (Asn) residue (i.e. N-linked) or serine (Ser)/threonine (Thr) residue (i.e. O-linked) of a protein.
- Glycans can be homo- or heteropolymers of monosaccharide residues, which can be linear or branched.
- N-linked glycosylation is known to initiate primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas O-linked glycosylation is shown to initiate in either the ER or Golgi apparatus.

- N-glycans can be composed of N-acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc), mannose (Man), fucose (Fuc), galactose (Gal), neuraminic acid (NANA), and other monosaccharides, however N-glycans usually have a common core pentasaccharide structure including: three mannose and two N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) sugars.

- the invention is based at least in part on the discovery that under certain conditions recombinant proteins may be produced in a cell wherein the gene encoding the protein is operably linked to a Tn-resistance gene, GPT, and selection of a protein-producing cell is formatted to increase random integration events in the cell genome and thus increase copy number of the gene of interest, and ultimately protein production.
- GPT expression cassettes can also be integrated in a cellular genome, as in expression constructs, such as via expression vectors, using various gene editing techniques known in the art.
- Expression vectors comprising GPT can be integrated into a genome by random or targeted recombination such as, homologous recombination or recombination mediated by recombinases that recognize specific recombination sites (e.g., Cre-lox-mediated recombination).
- Homologous recombination in eukaryotic cells can be facilitated by introducing a break in the chromosomal DNA at the integration site.
- Model systems have demonstrated that the frequency of homologous recombination during gene targeting increases if a double-strand break is introduced within the chromosomal target sequence. This may be accomplished by targeting certain nucleases to the specific site of integration. DNA-binding proteins that recognize DNA sequences at the target locus are known in the art. Gene targeting vectors are also employed to facilitate homologous recombination.

- Modified CHO K1 cells were transfected with a plasmid vector containing CHO-GPT (SEQ ID NO: 2), human GPT (SEQ ID NO: 12) or a plasmid vector containing a hygromycin phosphotransferase (Hpt, Hygromycin resistant gene); e.g. the selectable marker gene (CHO- GPT or hpt) was transcriptionally linked to a downstream eGFP gene via an IRES sequence, in their respective vectors.
- CHO-GPT SEQ ID NO: 2
- human GPT SEQ ID NO: 12
- Hpt hygromycin phosphotransferase
- Hpt Hygromycin resistant gene
- each plasmid was constructed to contain the following gene sequences, in 5' to 3' direction: a Lox site, a SV40 late promoter, either CHO-GPT (or Hpt), IRES, enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP), and a second Lox site.
- Purified recombinant plasmids were transfected together with a plasmid that expresses Cre recombinase, into a modified CHO host cell line containing: from 5' to 3', a lox site, YFP, and a second lox site, at a transcriptionally active locus. Consequently, the host CHO cell can be isolated by flow cytometry as a green-positive or a yellow-negative cell.
- Cell populations were either incubated with 0, ⁇ g ml, 2 ⁇ g/ml or 5 ⁇ g/ml tunicamycin (Tn) or 400 ⁇ hygromycin (Hyg), as outlined in Table 2.
- Observed recombinant populations (ORPs) were measured by fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. Cells were sorted to quantitate each population of cells, and selection efficiency was calculated for cells expressing only GFP and not YFP (Figs. 4 or 5).
- tunicamycin selection is as efficient as hygromycin selection.
- Both CHO-GPT and human GPT were efficient at selection of integrants in the presence of 1 ug/ml or 2.5 ug/ml Tunicamycin.
- Incremental selection was done by applying increasing concentrations of tunicamycin to the GPT expression system.
- CHO K1 cells were transfected with a plasmid vector containing the CHO-GPT gene (SEQ ID NO: 2) as above.
- the plasmid contains in 5' to 3' direction, a first Lox site, a SV40 late promoter, the CHO-GPT gene, an IRES, eGFP, and a second Lox site.
- the CRE-lox sites direct integration of the gene of interest into the genome resulting in a stable transfectant pool of cells with at least one GPT insertion per cell. (More integrants may occur due to random integration, as seen above).
- CHO cells were initially cultured in the presence of 1 g/ml tunicamycin (Tn). Transfectants were then selected from the stable pool (named Cell Pool 2) and subsequently expanded in the presence of 1 g/nnl, 2.5 g/ml or 5 g/ml Tn. Selection rounds were conducted to identify cell populations capable of enhanced expression (multiple copies) of eGFP. The random integration events increased greatly, in the presence of 2.5 ⁇ g/ml or 5 ⁇ g/ml Tn.
- Tn tunicamycin
- Copy number of gene product was measured using standard qPCR methods. Copy number of eGFP in the cells from the 1 ⁇ g/ml Tn-resistant pool incubated further with 2.5 ug/ml Tn was at least 2 times the copy number of eGFP from the 1 ⁇ g/ml Tn-resistant pool incubated further with 1 ⁇ g/ml Tn. The gene copy number increased further when a 1 ⁇ g/ml Tn-treated pool was incubated further with 5 ⁇ g/ml Tn. The increase in gene copy number for eGFP correlates with the increased gene copy of CHO-GPT. (See Figures 6A and 6B.)
- MFI mean fluorescent intensity
- Tn-resistant expression vectors were also employed in further experiments, described below, to test the effects of Tn selection on glycosylation patterns.
- Example 3 Expression and glycosylation profile of an exemplary dimeric protein.
- CHO cells expressing a "Trap" protein (Fc fusion protein-1 , hereinafter referred to as FcFP1 ) were transfected with a GPT-containing expression vector.
- the plasmid has, in 5' to 3' direction, a Lox site, a SV40 late promoter, a Tn-resistant gene (CHO-GPT), an IRES eGFP, SV40 polyA and a second Lox site. 1 ⁇ ⁇ Tn or 5 ⁇ ⁇ Tn was used for selection of the GPT selectable marker.
- the selected pools cells were expanded in suspension cultures in serum-free production medium. GPT transfection was confirmed by expression of eGFP by FACS analysis. Pellets collected from selected pools were sent for copy number analysis for GPT expression and a 12 day productivity assay was set up to determine the expression level of FcFP1 in pools selected with different concentrations of Tunicamycin.
- FcFP1 was selected for its complex glycosylation pattern, having an abundance of glycosylation sites.
- cells expressing FcF1 protein were expanded in cell culture under standard protocol (no Tn) or conditions of Tn treatment as represented in Table 4, then protein was isolated and purified.
- Oligosaccharide profiling was done by well-known HPLC methods against the reference standard lot for the FcFP1 protein. Levels of sialylation were measured for the FcFP1 trap protein lots and the Z-number was calculated for each lot (3 replicates). Z-number represents the measure of variation between lots. The Z-number takes into account the relative number of peaks, as well as the relative shape and intensity of each peak. For example, the area of each 0SA, 1 SA, 2SA, 3SA and 4SA peak in Figures 7A-7D is quantitated as in Table 5.
- OS oligosaccharide
- OSA zero sialic acid residues
- 1 SA one sialic acid residue
- 2SA two sialic acid residues
- 3SA three sialic acid residues
- 4SA four sialic acid residues
- each protein lot is understood to achieve the same material as the therapeutic molecule. Since the presence of Tn is known to have a negative effect on glycosylation of N-linked glycoproteins, it was unexpected that protein production would be reliable and consistent, as well as productive, given the conditions of increased selection pressure by Tn.
